Macspotting- series of 100,000,000
Sun, 15 Nov 2009 03:56:41 +0000
Last night on BBC3, in the relentlessly (and deliberately) superficial
'The noughties- was that it?' Pt 2. Towards the end of the programme, at
around 1h50m in, in the most important events of the decade, they do
'Mac v. PC'.
As I said, relentlessly superficial, therefore great fun.
It's on the iPlayer.

Migration iBook to MacBook.
Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:42:51 -0800 (PST)
My wife's getting a new plastic unibody MacBook to replace her mid-'04
iBook (10.4.11), on which I've installed the latest Migration
Assistant. Are there any pitfalls that I need to be aware of, or can I
simply tick the boxes for stuff that we'd like to have moved and let
it rip?

Works outing '10
Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:31:04 GMT
To save all the cat-herding and multi-threading we went through this year,
how about fixing the Works Outing as an annual event on the second Friday in
November each year?
It's too late to coincide with Guy Fawkes' Night, too early for Thanksgiving,
almost too early to avoid the Christmas congestion (sorry El ...

Battery time again: MacBook Pro, 3rd Party vs OEM
Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:28:06 +0000
It's time to replace my MacBook Pro (2007) battery , which now gives me
around 15 minutes battery time. Coconut Battery tells me I'm on 38% of
original capacity, but it seem to vanish much faster than that.
The battery performances from Apple have been less than spectacular in
my mind, so I've been having a ...

Pixelmator for 10.4
Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:10:54 -0800 (PST)
I came across Pixelmator at the beginning of the year and made a
mental not that it would be worth getting. A week or two ago, I went
to download and buy it when I discovered the current version will only
work with Leopard and Intel Macs. When I first investigated it, the
minimum system requirement was 10.4. I ema ...

Fretless bass friendly strings
Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:47:12 +0000
After the bass session on the saturday morning in the portland hotel on
monday morning, I realised that I was lacking a fretless bass and an
acoustic bass. So I decided to compromise and get a really cheap
fretless acoustic bass.
So those strings on gregs not-so-cheap fretless bass that felt smooth -
what were ...

What can Apple learn from Windows 7?
14 Nov 2009 18:12:41 GMT
I know a few of you have had a reasonable play with Windows 7, and I'm
curious... What stuff has Microsoft done with it that Apple could really
learn from for the next version of OSX?
At first I thought I liked the feature where hovering over an app in the
taskbar gave you previews of all the app's open windows, ...
